Healing the Mountain Man

He wanted solitude. She brought a storm.

Losing my dog on Lone Mountain wasn’t part of the plan. He was my best friend, the only steady thing in my life, and I wasn’t leaving that mountain without him. Even if it meant searching until I dropped.

What I didn’t plan on was running straight into him.

Gabriel Holt was all sharp edges and silence, a mountain of a man who looked like he hadn’t spoken to another human in years. Broody, growly, and built like he could snap a tree in half with his bare hands. He made it clear he wanted to be left alone. But I wasn’t going anywhere.

I was stubborn like that.

And when the storm came, trapping us together in his cabin, I started to realize something. Maybe I wasn’t just here to save my dog. Maybe I was here to save him, too.

The mountain was supposed to be my refuge. A place where no one could find me. Where the ghosts in my head were mine to face in silence.

Then she crashed into my life—wild curls, fierce eyes, and a body made to test a man’s will. She was looking for her lost dog. I told her to leave. She refused.

Callie Winters was stubborn, curvy as hell, and everything I didn’t want. But the longer she stayed, the more I realized…

Maybe what I didn’t want was exactly what I needed.

And the moment I let her in, there was no turning back.

She came to find her dog.

I think she’s here to save me.

If you love growly, protective heroes, determined heroines, forced proximity, and hard-won happily-ever-afters, this one’s for you.
